The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 387

"Okay, I understand!" The engineer had already guessed what Ma Yunteng was going to say. Judging from Ma Yunteng's style just now, he was sure he would want to demolish and rebuild.

"Okay, good that you understand!" Ma Yunteng smiled slightly: "I plan to buy a few Boeing 747 passenger planes in the future, so this airport can't just be built as a helicopter airport! Build it to the standards of a fighter jet airport!"

Ma Yunteng wasn't sure if he would buy fighter jets in the future, but if he built the airfield now to resemble a fighter jet landing pad, he might not need to rebuild it later.

"Boss, fighter jet runways need to be very long, and the main length of our island might not be enough!" the engineer said awkwardly. If we're going to build a fighter jet airport, the runway would have to be at least a few kilometers long, right?

Unless those planes can take off and land vertically like helicopters, then there is no need for runways that are several kilometers long.

“If the length isn’t enough, that’s easy to fix. Just fill in the sea and you’ll have a runway.” Ma Yunteng once thought that one day he might be able to fill in the Pacific Ocean with money… Just kidding. Of course, Ma Yunteng wouldn’t do something so pointless, but he could certainly fill in some of the surrounding beaches with some materials.

"Should we still use gold-plated concrete for the materials?" the engineer asked with a dry laugh.

"Good comprehension! Here's a reward of 100,000 yuan!" Ma Yunteng snapped his fingers at his secretary, who immediately took out a piece of paper, wrote down 100,000 yuan, and handed it to him.

"Thank you, boss!" the engineer said excitedly.

"Oh, don't be shy! It's just a small amount!"

Ma Yunteng laughed heartily, then turned to look at the more than twenty representatives behind him and slowly said, "The construction of Paradise Island is something I attach great importance to. I hope everyone can offer enthusiastic suggestions and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the construction of Paradise Island! Complete all the relevant construction within three days!"

"Boss... if it's three days, we'll need at least tens of thousands of people to work on this project!" The chief engineer quickly considered the shortest possible timeframe. Completing the project within three days was indeed possible, but it would require tens of thousands of people working simultaneously, 24 hours a day without interruption!

Ma Yunteng's university reunion will be held in three days at the nearby Jixiang Island. The system also gave Ma Yunteng three days to prepare. Ma Yunteng thought that if the process was too fast, the quality of the project might be greatly compromised.

But I can't worry about that now!

Three days it is!

"Well, I'm afraid you'll all have to work hard during this period, but I won't let you work for nothing! Come on, let's pay your salaries first! All of you will be paid five times the industry average!"

After a pause, Ma Yunteng continued, "If we can complete the project smoothly within three days, we'll pay everyone's wages again! There will also be corresponding bonuses. In other words, as long as everyone completes the requirements I've outlined, each person will receive ten times their salary plus a bonus!"

Ten times the salary!

Everyone stared at Ma Yunteng with burning eyes. This was what a big boss was all about! Not only did he arrange accommodations on the Royal One cruise ship for them, but he was also going to pay them ten times their usual salary!

"Okay! Secretary Liu, write down their names and bank card numbers, then directly notify the Calorie Finance Department to make them money! We'll get started after the salaries are paid!" Ma Yunteng smiled slightly and then walked to the side.

Over here, the responsible personnel quickly compiled their subordinates' information, and in less than half an hour, the Calorie Group's finance department transferred all their salaries to their bank accounts!

This was the first time these people who rushed over had encountered such a situation.

They pay wages first, then they start working, and Ma Yunteng isn't worried at all about them running away after receiving their wages.

After all, they'll get paid again after the project is completed, plus an extra completion bonus. None of these people are fools! Given Ma Yunteng's demonstrated financial power, giving them hundreds of millions in bonuses is just a piece of cake!

Five o'clock in the evening.

Tens of thousands of workers quickly arrived at Paradise Island by sea.

The Royal One luxury cruise ship also sailed to Paradise Island, along with numerous passenger ships, cargo ships, and countless large containers that were moved to the island.

As dusk fell, dozens of large, urgent transport planes landed on Paradise Island, unloading numerous shipping containers.

Each container is filled with genuine, top-quality gold and diamonds.

Ma Yunteng ordered Zhao Peng to transport 50 billion worth of diamonds and gold, but Zhao Peng has only managed to deliver 10 billion worth of spot goods so far, as some gold and diamond mines in Dubai can only deliver 10 billion worth of goods at present.

Four hundred billion worth of gold and diamonds are being shipped to Paradise Island from all over the world.

Under Ma Yunteng's instructions, Zhao Peng once again convened all those in charge to hold a groundbreaking ceremony.

With such a large-scale island construction project, how could it not have a proper foundation-laying ceremony?

"Boss, the foundation stone laying ceremony only requires burying the monument, why dig such a big pit?" Zhao Peng looked at the scene in front of him in confusion. The excavator had already dug a huge pit in the center of the island, big enough to fit ten shipping containers!

"Yes! If we're going to build the most luxurious island in the world, we can't just bury a monument and call it a day!"

Ma Yunteng smiled mysteriously, then pointed to the rows of shipping containers in front of him and said calmly, "Someone! Bury this hundred tons of cash inside!"

What!!!

Chapter 275 A Clueless Case: 10 Billion

A mysterious smile played on Ma Yunteng's lips as he suddenly pointed to the rows of shipping containers ahead and said calmly, "Someone, bury this hundred tons of cash inside!"

One hundred tons of cash!!!

Everyone stared in horror at the row of black containers that Ma Yunteng was pointing to; no one had expected that they contained cash!

In the afternoon, Ma Yunteng instructed Calorie Finance to temporarily withdraw 10 billion yuan in cash from various banks, and then called Chen Tianpeng of the Hongmen, asking him to send someone to escort the money over.

Zhao Peng scratched his head in disbelief, revealing an extremely surprised expression.

"Boss, why are we burying money?"

"Because there's a lot of money."

Ma Yunteng smiled slightly. The system required him to spend 10 billion on Paradise Island. In the afternoon, he did the math when he had nothing to do. The diamond villa, crystal pool, underwater restaurant, and other miscellaneous expenses added up to only a little over 600 million. He was still nearly 40 billion short of 100 billion!

There was no other way; we had too much money, so we had to bury a portion of it directly!

Upon hearing Ma Yunteng's words, everyone was stunned. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that such a rich person could exist in the world?
